S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Is finally out!
Now I've been waiting for so long for this game I'd forgotten all about it. Has anyone took the plunge and got it? If so what's it like? Matt |
Been playing it for a while, very immersive, stunning graphics (almost film quality in parts) you can see the veins behind the skin etc. enjoying it so far, but need to free up some more time to get right into it. :)
|
Ordered, for £17.99 from Play.com it's worth a punt :D
|
Had a bit of time playing it, gameplay and the graphics so far are superb! But you will need a fairly meaty system to keep the details up. Saying that, runs buttery smooth at full details, with AA and AF enabled on my setup...
X2 4400 @2.4 X1950Pro Turbo 512mb 2gb Ram ...not too shabby for an 'old' AGP rig! :) Oh, and because I had mine on preorder with PLAY from it was announced years ago, I was sent the limited edition at no extra cost! £17.99 for a cracking limited tin edition!! :D |
Top Marks from me so far but i would advise putting the game on Veteran straight away as i put it on 'Stalker' level and it seems a little easy... Would i recommend it? YEP, coz there is a serious shortage of good games on the PC at the moment...
|
I've got a new system to build and haven't bought a FPS game in ages (bit RTS'd out at the moment) and STALKER will be the game to buy.
The term "Stalker" comes from the nickname given to scientists who still work in and around Chernobyl. Read it National Geographic :) |
looks good on the trailer :D
http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/3324...l/Product.html dont think i have the pc to run it :( |
Is anyone running this on Vista? I have heard it has compatibility problems? It has put me of buying it yet
|
Its runs fine on vista premium and ultimate at 1900x1200 on my system straight out of the box.
intel 6800 extreme asus striker motherboard 8gb ram 2x8800gtx :thumb: |
LOL @ that spec :lol1:
Works fine on my Vista machine too :) |
probably buy this tomorrow :D
|
I had to knock back a few settings as it was stuttering :(
Turned off sunlight and grass shaddow :) Athlon dual core 4600+ 4GB RAM Radeon X1900XT |

starting to like it, need to work out what the hell I need to do with the trading system. Don't like the inventory that much, managed to carry about 42 pistols and still run out of ammo on the big guns..:mad: |

It is also recommended to apply the patch which fixes quite a few anomalies. Be aware that the patch also clears any saved games so it should be applied early on.
|
hmmm.... might have to invest. Been waiting for this for a LONG time!! :D
My PC may not handle it though (Athlon 2.2 Gig/1Gig PC5300 Ram & ATI9700pro).... Is it coming out on 360? Dan :) |
Whats the minimum specs - my system should be fine but worried about my graphics card
core 2 duo e6600 4gb corsair memory gforce 7600gt :wonder: |
Minimum specs....
Windows XP SP2 or Win 2k SP4 P4 2ghz or XP 2200+ 512mb RAM 10gb HDD space 128mb DX9c Compatible card - Geforce 5700/Radeon 9600 DX9 compatible sound card Recommended... Core 2 Duo E6400/ X2 4200+ 1gb RAM 256mb DX9c compatible card - Geforce 7900/Radeon X1850 |
I'm running on a:
Core2Due E6600 2GB RAM 7900GS 512MB graphics ....and it runs very nicely indeed. Which bright spark recommended running at 'Stalker' level initially? I've not played much outside of HALO on the Xbox for a while, and I'm still stuck trying to kill people in the "car park" (on my own - I elected to be brave, perhaps stupid!). Stupid little pea-shooter of a gun has no effect against a guy with a flippin' 12 bore! |

Thats good news then Think I will be getting that very soon once I can pull myself away from battlefield 2142 its taking over my life :D
|
Seems pretty good, though I have acquired lots of stuff to sell and have a hard job finding anyone to sell it to. Also, are there traders where I can buy other gear like better guns, radiation protection etc?

Jeez, your system's crying out for a decent graphics card!
I was holding out for the DX10 cards also I bought vista which went tits up and made battlefield randomly crash as it didnt like the graphics running anything above medium - and reccomendations on a decent card to get under £200 quid though as my system already stands me at over a grand :brickwall |
Just got this today. It's a bit good!!! I'm kacking my pants at the moment - talk about scary :eek2:
